Watch how Cesc Fabregas pulled the shirt of Alexis Saelemaekers and how Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri confronted his counterpart on the sidelines during Wednesday’s Serie A clash.
Tension flared during Milan-Como on Wednesday, particularly after the visitors’ coach Fabregas tugged on Saelemaekers’ shirt from the sidelines while the game was in progress.

Fabregas’ move enraged Allegri, prompting him to confront the Como coach and a staff member, which led to Allegri being shown a red card.
Fabregas apologised at full-time, but Allegri was still upset as he was heard shouting at the Spaniard before a post-match press conference.

#MilanComo In Eccellenza si vedono queste cose? Forse nei campionati colombiani. Guardate il numero di maglia come si deforma! Il quarto uomo cieco. Le scuse post gara di #Fabregas sono ipocrite. Almeno #Allegri gliele ha cantate, perché sanzioni ahimè non ce ne saranno pic.twitter.com/yIlroxcJln
